Doctors Debunk Viral Claim on Protein Intake and Intelligence

Medical experts have refuted social media claims that high protein intake causes cognitive decline or 'makes you dumb', labeling the assertion as scientifically unsupported.

Oncologists emphasize that cancer risk is influenced by complex factors like genetics, lifestyle, and tobacco use, rather than protein consumption alone.

Health professionals advise focusing on whole-food protein sources like lentils, eggs, and fish while limiting processed meats, which the WHO classifies as carcinogenic.
